Hi Dervala, its great to see you writing so regularly again. If you might consider a slightly off-beat bicycle protest against oils wars, try http://www.worldnakedbikeride.org – it’s great fun and and happening soon at a city near you! Ranger Tim could bring down his friends from Los Gatos.

I had forgotten how many California companies got tax breaks for providing showers in work premises. I have a water bucket just behind the power substation that I can use in Clonmel.

I believe so, and they do it in New York, too.

In NY it’s organized by Critical Mass, not Transportation Alternatives, and they haven’t been savvy about building support from the police and the politicians. I’m fond of bike hippies, but I think TA’s approach is much more effective, so I didn’t take part in Critical Mass NY.

Do they still do Critical Mass once a month? Where all the bicycle commuters take over the roads (with police support) and ride from downtown over the Golden Gate Bridge?

Oh, I miss San Francisco.
